Early in the day, South Africa just about managed to avoid the follow-on with AB de Villiers (91) a solitary shining light, as the hosts were bowled all out for 206, with Mitchell Johnson finishing with figures of 7 for 68.

Warner then partnered Doolan to put together 205 runs for the second wicket as the Proteas bowlers ran out of ideas in the Centurion sun.

Australia will go into day four leading South Africa by 479 runs.

Look back on how all the day three action unfolded in Grandstand's live Test cricket blog.
